ISAAC HERMANN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IMPROVEMENT IN GLOVE-FASTENINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 152,109, dated June 16, 1874 application filed April 25, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAc HERMANN, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Glove-Fastener, of whichJ the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a front view of my improved glovefastener a's applied to a glove; Fig. 2, a detail vert-ical longitudinal section on the line c c, Fig. 4, of one of the clamp-buttons; Fig. 3,

a detail 'side-view of the same; and Fig. 4, an

ished in any design or shape, from the plainest to the most ornamental, as they are designed to take the place of the buttons and button-holes or other fastening devices at -present in use, and to be detached from one pair of gloves and attached to a new pair, as

`required.

Each button B is again made of an upper or `top plate, C, and a lower or socket plate, D, which are connected through a small pinhole perforation ot' the glove by means of a central screw-bolt, a, of the top plate, turning into a threaded socket, b, ot'. plate D. The lirm position of both plates is secured by prongs d of the top plate, which penetrate partly into the leather or other material of the glove, and clamp it rigidly on screwing ou the socket-plate. The top plate of one button B is provided with a small ring, c, while the top plate of the opposite button has a common or swivel hook, j', soldered or otherwise applied thereto. The connecting-chain g is attached to hook j", passed then through ring e, and back to the hook, to be adjusted to the length required, as indicated in Figs. l and 4.

The glove is in this manner fastened in a very neat and elegant manner, and instantly opened, giving thereby a less annoying fastening device than those at present in use, and one which is more lasting than any other, as it may hold ont, if properly finished, for any number of gloves.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A glove-fastening consisting of the screw clamping-plates C D, having prongs d d, and a suitable connecting device, substantially as shown and described.
